日原渡船

The bridge extends for 1.7 kilometers across Lake Nakaumi, reaching a maximum height of 44.7 meters with a width of 11.3 meters throughout its span.

The construction of this infrastructure project started in 1997 and reached completion in 2004, replacing an older drawbridge that caused frequent traffic interruptions.

The bridge connects the distinct regions of Shimane and Tottori prefectures, facilitating the movement of people and goods between these two cultural areas.

The structure accommodates vehicle traffic with gradients of 6.1% on the Shimane side and 5.1% on the Tottori side, allowing for continuous maritime passage underneath.

The bridge ranks as the largest rigid-frame bridge in Japan and holds the position of third largest structure of its type worldwide.
